              A SALUTE TO GLEN LEE FOR HIS 33-YEAR CAREER

  Mr. HELMS. Mr. President, B. Glen Lee retired the other day, and just 
about everybody who ever had dealings with the gentleman will testify 
that for 33 years he was a worthy public servant--which is just about 
the best monument to any public servant.
  Glen Lee is indeed admired by his fellow citizens. It was Hawthorne 
who asserted years ago that nobody who needs a monument ever ought to 
have one.
  Glen Lee does not need a monument, but he deserves the one he has.
  Mr. President, B. Glen Lee's career was devoted to his diligent work 
with and for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. He was Deputy 
Administrator of the USDA's Plant Protection and Quarantine Program--a 
part of the Department's Health Inspection Service. In that capacity, 
Mr. Lee served so well that last year he was 1 of 6 winners of the 1994 
Executive Excellence Award presented by the Professional Development 
League.
  And, Mr. President, in that connection he was singled out for praise 
for having persuaded the Peoples' Republic of China to allow the entry 
of United States apples and other produce.
  Glen Lee was graduated from N.C. State University in 1962 and began 
his career as an inspector in the Plant Pest Control Division of the Ag 
Research Division in North Carolina. His retirement rolled around while 
he was serving as the top plant protection official in the United 
States.
  He served the American people well.
